After making waves with her debut feature Dharm which bagged the National film award and premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, acclaimed director Bhavna Talwar has a force to reckon with. Her next feature, a major International production, which is an adaptation of the much-loved children's Book 'Heidi' has begun its second schedule in Spain, following the UK Schedule and stars heavy weight actors such as Bill Nighy, Mark Williams and Helen Baxendale among others. While Talwar is all set to make her mark internationally, she has chosen to work with a core Indian crew, including noted cinematographer Binod Pradhan and Action director Sham Kaushal, in addition to her core creative team. "Cinema is a universal language and I know and our production company has worked closely with Shamji and Binod, it was not just about the comfort level but also the fact that they are world class talent.

To begin, Afghanistan and Ecuador have added two more titles to the list of Foreign Language Oscar contenders submitted to the 86th Academy Awards with Barmak Akram's Wajma (An Afghan Love Story) and Javier Andrade's Porcelain Horse, bringing the total number of submissions to 69 so far. Today marked the deadline for submissions and the Academy will soon announce the complete list of films accepted for consideration as this year's race for the Foreign Language category may prove a little more interesting now that the entire voting membership of the Academy can vote for the category, though the nominations will still be determined by a committee. What effect the rule change will have on the end results will be hard to determine since we won't know how it would have happened otherwise, but opening the opportunity to more members can't be a bad thing. Bad things are brewing around the category,...

New Delhi, Jan 10: If Imran Khan was scared to work with Pankaj Kapur in "Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola", he was also bowled over by the senior actor's focus and dedication. He says that despite playing a wide range of roles, the veteran treats each new project as his first movie.
"His (Pankaj) focus and dedication are remarkable to see. The way he sits and rehearses his lines and practices his scenes are very inspiring," Imran told Ians in an interview.
Even after spending over two decades in front of the camera, the "Maqbool" and "Dharm" actor Pankaj still "works as a struggler, someone who has got his first assignment. It is very.

It's decidedly a first at the Vatican. On Tuesday, May 22, the Pope Benedict XVI and his colleagues at the Vatican City will be watching a Bollywood film, and that too a film that espouses the teachings of Hinduism and propagates the virtues of secularism by showing its rigid Hindu Pundit hero (Pankaj Kapoor) embracing an orphaned Muslim child as his own.
The film is Bhavna Talwar's Dharm released in 2007. So what took the Vatican so long to wake up to Talwar's film's message on the one-ness of religion and human-kind?
"I don't know!" says the stunned director who is now working on a bio-pic on Rajiv Gandhi. "It was done by an Italian friend, a filmmaker named Franco la Cecla who's close to the Vatican. It was he who thought Dharm is a work that the Pope and the Vatican should see. I think it is the message of...
